2 Table of Content AHK Saudi Arabia Newsletter 01/2013 Dear Reader, On behalf of our AHK staff, I wish you all a successful start in The German- Saudi economic relations continue their positive trends in For the German economy, Saudi Arabia is the largest market in the MENA region. In the first 11 months of 2012 Germany exported goods worth 9.8 billion US-Dollars to Saudi- Arabia. During the same period goods worth almost 2 billion US-Dollars were exported from Saudi Arabia to Germany. Saudi Arabia expands its position as Germany's most important trading partner in the MENA region. The growth of the Saudi economy is supported by massive investments, which can be seen when looking at the current project volume. The project volume in Saudi Arabia currently stands at 780 billion U.S. dollars. Over a quarter of all projects in the Gulf are being planned in Saudi Arabia or have already been implemented. The Kingdom is therefore one of the most important markets for German companies in the MENA region. The government plans to invest 54.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2013 in the education sector, which is an increase of 21 percent compared to the 2012 fiscal year. 1 billion U.S. dollars will be invested in 539 new schools. For Health and Social Affairs the government plans to invest around 26.7 billion U.S. dollars, which is an increase of 16 percent compared to New projects include new centers for primary care throughout the kingdom and 19 new hospitals. Currently more than 100 hospitals are under construction with a capacity of 23,000 beds and five medical cities with a capacity of 6,200 beds. In 2012, 29 new hospitals were built with a capacity of more than 5,750 beds. In order to assist German companies preparing their operations in Saudi Arabia the AHK Saudi Arabia is constantly working on new information materials. Besides a detailed directory of potential partners for the export business, the Directory of Importing Companies in Saudi Arabia, AHK Saudi Arabia has published the exclusive handbook Vergaberecht Saudi-Arabien Rechtstipps für öffentliche Ausschreibungen to give advice on how to participate in procurement processes in Saudi Arabia. Both publications are important tools to assist German companies to plan their steps to the Saudi-Arabian market carefully.
